Do you guys all realize that each time you release the gas nozzle to change cans you lose about a dollar! Somehow when you release the lever the gas is siphoned back down in the tank. That's why if you watch the dollar amount at the pump when filling a plastic can, when you first here the splash the gauge is already at 40 cents or so. That's why cars that are supposed to get 30 mi per gal don't. The States weights & measures guys don't do good work. They see the last reading on the pump and check to see if the $20 divided by the listed price equals the gallons the pump states. They in no way check to see if you really get a gallon (231 cu in) when the pump says 1 gal. Case in point: The other day I put $40 in one pickup. Got 9.4 gal. Minutes later took other pickup & two little cans for mowers. Same station, same pump, filled one can, then the second, finished the $40 in the truck; got 8.6 gal. Shutting off the gas flow quickly twice cost me .8 gal, about $3.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
